00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.080
The sequence drill is the quan two step.

2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:11.720
So similar, I've got the Ben Hogan two step, I've got the Sasha Mackenzie.

3
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.100
Here's another way to get your lower body a little bit more active.

4
00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:19.000
So this is really helpful for golfers who tend to have more of an upper body

5
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:19.480
dominant

6
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:22.360
swing or upper body pull in transition.

7
00:00:22.360 --> 00:00:24.750
And this is also, I'm going to show you a couple different progressions that

8
00:00:24.750 --> 00:00:25.120
you can

9
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.680
do at home as well as at the range.

10
00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:32.060
So the quan two step, he shows this drill in his class.

11
00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:37.610
This is learning to blend a little bit of a pressure shift and then a little

12
00:00:37.610 --> 00:00:38.560
bit of hip

13
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.040
turn with straightening the leg.

14
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:43.600
So I'm going to put the club down.

15
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.710
And first version I'm going to do is I'm going to put my, basically grab my b

16
00:00:46.710 --> 00:00:47.120
iceps.

17
00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:48.800
So arms crossed like this.

18
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:52.720
And now what I'm going to do is I'm going to step on the right leg and then I'm

19
00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:53.160
going

20
00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:55.080
to straighten the right leg.

21
00:00:55.080 --> 00:00:59.530
And when I straighten that right leg, this hip and this leg are going to go up

22
00:00:59.530 --> 00:01:00.040
and back

23
00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:01.240
that way.

24
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.360
Then I'm going to step onto the left leg and then I'm going to straighten the

25
00:01:04.360 --> 00:01:04.980
left leg

26
00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:07.120
so the left and the hip go back that way.

27
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.200
So there's a step push, step push, step push, step push.

28
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.000
And this is kind of the rhythm of it.

29
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.960
And now you'll see that my upper body is lagging behind that just slightly.

30
00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:22.560
So it's not a this type of movement where everything is stepping together.

31
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:27.030
Step push, you'll notice I step onto this left foot while my upper body still

32
00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:28.200
stays back.

33
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:32.550
And then as I push, my upper body comes through and then my upper body stays

34
00:01:32.550 --> 00:01:33.600
there as I step

35
00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:35.680
onto the trail foot.

36
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:38.120
So step push, step push.

37
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.280
To exaggerate this rhythm of it, I'm going to take a rope.

38
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.080
Now this is about seven feet of three quarter inch rope.

39
00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:46.720
That's Dr. Quand's favorite.

40
00:01:46.720 --> 00:01:51.050
So I got to use this rope for this demonstration, but you can play around with

41
00:01:51.050 --> 00:01:52.360
different thicknesses

42
00:01:52.360 --> 00:01:54.960
if this feels a little heavy to you.

43
00:01:54.960 --> 00:01:58.120
So it's about seven feet, I'm going to double it up.

44
00:01:58.120 --> 00:01:59.120
So I've got my grip.

45
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.480
So now I'm going to step swing, step swing.

46
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.800
And I'm just going to get the rhythm of the ball or the rhythm of my upper body

47
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:08.160
in the

48
00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:11.600
rope working with the stepping motion.

49
00:02:11.600 --> 00:02:17.610
Now as I start to take bigger and bigger swings, you'll see if you're doing

50
00:02:17.610 --> 00:02:18.360
this more

51
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:23.910
with an arm pull, what you'll feel is the rope will tend to slap you pretty

52
00:02:23.910 --> 00:02:24.560
hard.

53
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:31.090
But if you're doing it more rhythmically with this step push, step push, then

54
00:02:31.090 --> 00:02:31.760
it will

55
00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:37.520
tend to kind of wrap around you, and it won't really strike you.

56
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.560
So the rope can be a great training aid.

57
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.620
You either walk away with some bruises and some confusion, or you walk away

58
00:02:44.620 --> 00:02:45.680
with a feeling

59
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.890
of this really good rhythm of using your lower body to transfer that speed into

60
00:02:50.890 --> 00:02:52.360
the rope.

61
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:57.460
The great things about ropes is I can't really move it a whole lot just with my

62
00:02:57.460 --> 00:02:58.200
wrist.

63
00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:03.950
I have to move it by applying more of this force along the rope instead of

64
00:03:03.950 --> 00:03:05.360
perpendicular

65
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:06.640
or tangent to it.

66
00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:12.480
So it does a great job of connecting the timing of this lower body step, step

67
00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:14.400
push, step push

68
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:19.600
to the timing of when the arms are going to pass that energy on to the club.

69
00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:22.600
So now that I've got a little bit of a rhythm feel, I can pick up my club and

70
00:03:22.600 --> 00:03:25.360
hit some shots.

71
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:31.120
So here we've got two different ways we can kind of do this.

72
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.280
So first one is with a little actual step.

73
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:41.200
So again, now the club head is just a stiffer version of the rope.

74
00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:47.670
I'm still trying to feel the club head lag behind a little bit what my body is

75
00:03:47.670 --> 00:03:48.560
doing.

76
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.560
It's all going to start with that rhythm and that stepping.

77
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:58.650
So I'm going to start with a little kind of three-quarter-ish, nine-three-ish

78
00:03:58.650 --> 00:03:59.220
step.

79
00:03:59.220 --> 00:04:04.680
And you'll notice it has the step in the back and then step on the way through.

80
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.880
We're step to start transition.

81
00:04:06.880 --> 00:04:11.440
So here we're going to step push, step push.

82
00:04:11.440 --> 00:04:16.080
It's a little kind of disconnected on that one, but not too bad.

83
00:04:16.080 --> 00:04:21.880
Now we're going to do the same thing, step push, step push.

84
00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:26.400
Now you'll notice that as I'm stepping, I'm not shifting my upper body

85
00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:27.720
dramatically over

86
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:28.840
one foot or the other.

87
00:04:28.840 --> 00:04:34.060
My upper body tends to stay centered as my pressure and my lower body has a

88
00:04:34.060 --> 00:04:34.840
little bit

89
00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:37.720
more of this shift to it.

90
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.510
So this can be a great drill for getting the lower body more involved and

91
00:04:41.510 --> 00:04:42.280
feeling kind

92
00:04:42.280 --> 00:04:46.460
of the proper sequence of leading with your legs.

93
00:04:46.460 --> 00:04:49.320
Next one, I'll add a little bit more pace.

94
00:04:49.320 --> 00:04:52.190
So the step is going to feel longer, but it's going to still have that same

95
00:04:52.190 --> 00:04:56.760
rhythm to it.

96
00:04:56.760 --> 00:05:00.520
So step push, step push.

97
00:05:00.520 --> 00:05:03.770
So you can use these stepping drills to help activate your lower body if you're

98
00:05:03.770 --> 00:05:04.200
a little

99
00:05:04.200 --> 00:05:06.880
bit to upper body dominant in transition.
